I just wanted to thank you for playing the Tigerpath Contest this Football season. This was the first year for this contest, and it was an overwhelming success. For those of you who don't know, I started this contest for several reasons. I wanted to celebrate my 10,000th hit to Tigerpath, and I also wanted to create something that Auburn fans could enjoy doing during football season.

Tigerpath is now close to 22,000 hits and the contest grew and grew far beyond my expectations. I remember thinking I would be lucky to get 60 people to play in this contest, and I've actually had over 160 play thus far. It makes it worthwhile, when I know you guys enjoy playing. I enjoy it myself! I was always the guy playing in the office pools and I even use to do my own pick sheets every week, so when I started this contest, I wanted it to be fun. It's more fun when you actually win something, so I sought after some sponsors. I hope you guys liked the prizes. By the way, If anyone knows a store owner or business man that would like to contribute some Auburn prizes for next season, please e-mail me at AUTIGER5@aol.com

The Tigerpath Contest will be back next year, and hopefully bigger and better. I will try and land some really big prizes for Tigerpath Contest II. I'm unsure how far I can go on the prize list, but I will assure you that I will try and get the best possible Auburn prizes available.

One important note: The sponsors have been more than generous in supplying me with prizes for this contest, and I hope you guys have enjoyed their presence in this contest. Please show your appreciation by visiting the websites of Anders Bookstore, Auburn Football Monthly and Logomation. The banner ads on the contest page are links to their websites. If you would like to e-mail them to thank them for their generosity, the address are: Anders@mindspring.com (Ron Anders), Chip@logomation.com (Chip), rbchapman@mindspring.com (Ben at Auburn Football Monthly), and imagestiXX@worldnet.att.net (Michael). I know that these guys would love to hear your support.

Once again, I can't thank you enough for playing in the Tigerpath Contest. I have spent many many hours working on this contest, but I have enjoyed it thoroughly, and I hope you did too. If you have any suggestions or prize ideas for next year, just e-mail me. Hope to see all of you (My Tiger Friends) back next year for Tigerpath Contest II.
